To make water ripples around a coast, follow these directions:
1) Use the fractal polyline or freehand fractal tool to draw the outline of the coast. Make sure you make the shape closed.
2) Select the water line style. Pull down the center line style combo box, and page down several pages until you find either of these two line styles:
3) If the line appears on the inside of the land boundary instead of the outside, select Reverse Line Direction.
4) For a shape that isn't completely convex, your water lines may appear inside the land borders. This effect shows marshy conditions around inlets.
If you don't want any lines inside the land boundary, follow these additional instructions:
5) Use Transform | Create Array to create a duplicate land boundary. Use Horizontal Count of 2, select Every, and choose 0 spacing. This will create two identical objects on top of each other.
6) Use Alt+Click near the edge of the land, and only one of the two landforms will be selected. Use Bring to Front, change the line style to solid instead of water, and select a fill color other than None. This will create a filled land outline in front of the water background that will block out any details drawn inside the water's edge.
